Lowrance’s X-67c Ice Machine was one of the most popular ice fishing sonar units of all time. Its the LCD equivilant to the FL-8 flasher from vexilar as far as its popularity goes. Well, all good things must come to an end, and Lowrance decided to cease production of the X-67c Ice Machine this year. This paved the way for 2 new units from Lowrance the Elite-4 Ice Machine and Elite-4x Ice Machine.

This unit combines the top of the line sonar features of the LX-7 and top of the line camera features from the VS825 and wraps them in one awesome package.

The LX-6 is the younger brother to the LX-7 and boasts some very impressive features itself. It is a 6″ display with a 640×480 resolution screen and 4800 watts of PTP power. This unit can pick up targets that are 3/4″ apart with its fully adjustable zoom. It also lets you control the ping rate of the transducer and screen scroll speed for instant updates.
